Definitely something to that. Was one of the biggest guys there, but skates better than you'd think. Okay hands. Good hitter, capable fighter. Doesn't go looking for trouble, but will defend a teammate. As is the case with most guys his age, he has consistency issues. If he makes it as an NHLer, he figures to be a bottom 6 guy, maybe along the lines of a Mike Rupp.

Sorry, the ball is already rolling on this. We have penciled him on our 4th line, replacing Adams or Glass. If he fails to score in his first two games, he immediately will be promoted to whipping boy. He will remain as whipping boy until he has been removed from our lineup - at that time, we will then blame Bylsma for not giving him a chance.
